Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Relative performance improvement (Δp)concept0.754
  Metric averaged over all tasks to measure MTL method improvement over STL.
• Reward improvementconcept0.744
  The increase in reward during training, whose dynamics align with those of causal emergence in successful agents.
• Mean Cumulative Objective Rewardmethod0.742
  Primary performance metric: total food visits across agent lifetime
• S is a predictive correlate calibrated on dev sets, not an absolute measureclaim0.730
  Clarifies nature of S.
• precision (conditional certainty)concept0.727
  Encoding of prediction confidence; proposed role for dopamine beyond reward signalling.
• The direction of information increase is relative to the observer or user of the computationclaim0.720
  Example: 3×5→15 is a natural computation, but 15→3×5 (prime factorization) is also useful, showing that the 'gain' depends on the choice of normal form.
• Multi-Attempt Rate (metric)concept0.717
  Secondary metric: percentage of responses containing multiple attempts, separating surface from actual self-correction
• Gradient Descentmethod0.717
  Used for updating hidden state expectations; provides dynamical process theory testable against neuronal data
